Accident Damage and Repairs

Many customers wonder how we handle accident repairs. Our professional mechanic team creates a custom blueprint for all internal and external damage and schedule the repairs that must be made to get you back on the road. The result you get is a quick and professional repair that will get you going again. Your vehicle will look like new.

We also take special precautions to make sure that your car is safe to drive and that the mechanical repairs are done that make the car safe for the road. We don’t take any risks where our customers are concerned. So you can rest assured that we will check out everything before we return the car to you.

We also work with any car insurance company to make sure we can repair your job for the amount received by your insurance claim. If it is going to cost more than the claim, we’ll let you know and work with you to appeal to the insurance company so that you will be able to get the help you need for your repairs.

Car Accident Insurance Help

You do not have to be pressured into choosing the repair shop that your insurance company chooses. One problem with car insurance companies is that they often recommend the cheapest repair shop to fix a vehicle. This does not guarantee that you will have what you need to fix your vehicle.

At Premium Collision Center, we know what it takes to fix your car to “like new” condition and our goal is to restore your vehicle to the way it was before the accident. This is supposed to be the goal of the insurer as well. But this is sometimes not the case. If you have a claim that is less than we can repair it for, let us know. We may be able to deal with your insurance company directly and explain to them why the repairs cost more than your claim. This may help you get more for your claim or at least to get the funds you need for the required repairs.

The bottom line is: This is America. The choice is yours. You do not have to choose the insurance company that your insurance company recommends.

Bodywork is our specialty and we will work directly with your insurance company to get you what you need. We guarantee all of the work we do. We are dealer certified and we work hard to make sure you are happy with the results.

How We Blueprint Your Repairs

At Premium Collision Center of Van Nuys, we look beyond the obvious external damage and think about any inner mechanical problems that may have been caused by the collision or mishap you experienced. Taking care of external auto bodywork without x-raying and analyzing the internal mechanisms is like going to the doctor and having him put makeup on a patient.

We look beyond the external structure to the inner mechanics and fix what needs fixing, whether it is an external or internal problem.

Paint/Refinish/Polish

There are several steps to repairing a damaged vehicle. Painting, refinishing, and polishing is done after the mechanical problems or body damage has been fixed and restored to new condition.

During this stage, we use environmentally-friendly paint that looks great with color matching that is done through a precision color match process. We have a precision-based computerized method to find the exact amount of basic colors to match a small dent. But it can also be used to match color on a wider area such as an entire corner panel.

We guarantee that the paint shade that we use on your vehicle will be exactly the same shade as the rest of the vehicle. We think of everything and create the perfect coat of paint in a carefully controlled environment so that it is also safe.

To blend the colors, we use a technique of spraying a small amount of color on the adjacent panels to allow the colors to blend naturally. Then a clear protective coat goes over the final surface and it is finished up with a professional polish job.
